ABUSIVE drivers hurling insults at Community Speedwatch volunteers in and around Nantwich are being warned to stop by police.

Officers say there has been an increase in cases where motorists have shouted abuse at the volunteers, who log registration numbers and pass the details on to the local Police Community Action Team.

Inspector Bob Hassall said: “We will not tolerate this sort of threatening, anti-social behaviour. If it persists I will deploy plain-clothed officers to join them and anyone acting in this manner will receive a fixed penalty notice.”

Most incidences have occurred in Wrenbury, Willaston, Worleston and Church Minshull.
